This weekend I had my Santa's Workshop class - here's 2 of the fun things we made (the other 3 will be posted on Thursday): Most of them use the new Close To My Heart Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge (Z1686, $99). I LOVE this cartridge. I don't feel the need to buy a bunch of other cartridges because there are 700 shapes on this one. So with the different sizes, you can do 32,000 different combinations! wowie. PLUS it comes with 3 coordinating stamp sets AND 3 sheets of Dimensional Elements.

Gift Card Holder

The pillow box and tag cutouts are Cricut shapes (yay, I can make them in any color!). I cut mine at 5 1/2" so I could get two on a 12x12 sheet. It holds a gift card nicely!

Supplies Used: Colors-Holiday Red, Topiary, White Daisy; Believe Paper Pack; Stamp Set: December 25th (C1469, $13.95). The ribbon is from my local craft store. For adhesive on the box, I recommend Terrifically Tacky Tape or Miracle Tape. It's super sticky and will work great to hold the box together. Tombow just isn't sticky enough.

Decorated Post-It Note Holder

I LOVE decorating Post-It notes for Christmas. This one is a 3x3 Post-It note pad decorated with a little paper. Last year we did them with a Velcro dot enclosure, but this year it's more like a book cover.

SO fun. Come back in 3 days to see the other 3 goodies we made at my Santa Workshop.

If you want to come and make these little treats, I'm having another class on Saturday, December 10 at 10am. Call or email me if you'd like to join us! The class is just $15 or it's free with your $15 minimum Close To My Heart order. Or if you want to buy the supplies to make your own treats, click here to shop online! Bring a friend!

About Me & My Blog

Hello! My name is Lisa Sargent, and I am a Close To My Heart consultant in Newcastle, Washington. Thanks for stopping by! ---
My blog isn't too active now, since I went back to work full time, but I still teach monthly card making classes and have free crafty-time at my house in Newcastle (See tab above for details) and have an e-commerce site (www.lisasargent.closetomyheart.com) if you want to shop. ---
My goal on the blog is to show you artwork, give you ideas on how to use your Close To My Heart supplies, and share with you how my art comes together. ---
Making cards and scrapbooks makes at least 2 people happy - the one making them (that's me...or you!) and the recipient. I hope I can help you make someone happy today.
